Syncing Contacts through iCloud

I have an IMac, 2 iPhones and an iPad. Through iCloud I have set up my contacts in the cloud. They sync to one of my iPhones but not my iPad or other iPhone. Has anyone else had a problem syncing through iCloud to multiple IOS devices?

iOS 5.1.1

Welcome to the Apple Community.

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).

Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.

If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
